Obverse
The obverse of the 1893 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coin features the famous Liberty Head bust, designed by Christian Gobrecht in 1838 for the coins of the US Eagle Series. This left-profile relief portrays Liberty wearing a coronet crown.
Reverse
On the reverse side of the 1893-CC Pre-33 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagles, you will find the heraldic eagle. This majestic bald eagle sits in front-facing relief, clutching the US national shield, arrows of war, and an olive branch of peace. Above the eagle’s head is a banner with the inscription “IN GOD WE TRUST,” added to the coins in 1866.
History
In 1893, the Carson City Mint marked its final year of operation. This mint, opened in 1870 to refine local silver from across Nevada into American currency, played a crucial role in striking various denominations of the US Eagle Series. The 1893 $5 Liberty Half Eagle Series saw only 60,000 coins minted by the Carson City Mint, a notable difference from the more than 1.5 million issued by the Philadelphia Mint.
